A Colored School Teacher Fonnd
Dying Near Saloon.


JACKSONVILLE, Dec. cd. w. Tillman,
colored school teacher arrested last week
for forging Superintendent Babcock's name
to school warrants, was found in dying
condition at the rear of Ricker's
saloon this morning. Last night
Tillman was at Baxter's saloon,
near the Brooklyn bridge and while
there exhibited o roll of paper money. he
afterward went to Ricker's barroom, at
the corner of Bridge and Bay streets, and
gave Kicker S45, with request that he
keep it until called for. Tillman appeared
then to be sober and quite cheerful.
The next time he was seen
was about daylight this morning,
lying at full length on his face Oh the
ground in small inclo ,ure at the rear OF
Ri ker's building. He was UNCONSCIOUS,
had confusion above his left eye and
signs of a blow across his left wrist.
He was frothing at the mouth
and was apparently suffering in
ternal pain. The dying man was taken
up and carried into a small room beneath
the stairs of Rickers building and a physi-
clan called DIR. Romero upon seeing the
man, pronounced it his belief that he
had fit, but afterward said
that it looked like foul play.
Indications of a struggle where he
man was sent out to his brothers in LaVilla,
where he expired about o O'Clock this morn
| ing. There is feeling among Tllman's
acquaintance that he was waylaid and
knocked down last night for the purpose of
robbing him of his money. 1t is also stated
that his skull was fractured by the blow
above the eye. A post norton examina-
ton will be held in the morning and an in
quest held. Sheriff Holland is working up
the case, but nothing has developed yet.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 29.-At the Metro
politan Hotel, near the union depot, early
this morning an intoxicated guest created
such a disturbance that police officer was
called in. He took him to the station house
and locked him up. The man was large and
dressed in clerical robes. He arrived last
night and registered as ]. B. Northman,
Belmont, n. C.. At the station he claimed
to be Catholic priest of st. Louis, but said
he had just left st. Mary's College
at Belmont, n. y, c., where he
had been professor for the last six
months. He stated that he was on his way
to st. Louis to meet Archbishop Kendrick
who was to assign him TO other duties

More Miles of New load Completed
This Year Than in ANY Previous ne.
CHICAGO, Dec 29.-The Roillony Age to-
morrow will say: The year 1887 has sur
passed all other years in the extent of rail-
way mileage construction in the United
States. When six months ago the predic-
tion was made in these columns that the
total new mileage for the year would not
be less than 10000 miles, with a likelihood of
surprising the record OF 1882, the year of the
greatest railway construction in the history
of the country-it was not generally be-
lieeed But figures obtained by careful in
vestigation throughout the year and con-
firmed by official information now prove the
prediction to have been more than war
ranted Our returns show that during 1897
no less than Is, ia miles of new main line
tracks were added to the railway systems o.
the United States, no account being TAX N in
this of hundreds of miles of side track
built nor of thousands of miles of main
line tracks re-laid. While the search has
been unusually thorough and the totals cor
roborate the record kept from week to week
il is not improbable that some scattering
additions may yet be received, so that it is
safe to state that during 1887 nearly, if not
quite $4,000 miles Of new main line tracks
were constructed.
From a table showing the number of lines
and mileage laid in each State the following
is extractAd.

Loss of British steamer With Cargo
Of Merchandise.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-Capt. Seavey, of
the schooner Annie l. Grace, at this port,
from Boston, reports that on Dec. "a, as he
was passing South Shoal lightship, off Nam
tucket, he saw a small boat put off from the
lightship mile distant and bear down to
steamer Newcastle City, from Newcastle
for New York, who was on board the small
boat, reported that his ship had been lost,
with heavy cargo of assorted merchan-
disc, on the morning of the preceding day.
The crew, all told, numbered twenty-five,
and they had sought refuge on the light
ship. 1t appears, from the statement of
Capt. Thornton. that his vessel was on
the inside, between the lightship and
the land, where the water is from
two to three fathoms deep, while the
steamer drew over tw nty-five feet. When
asked by Capt. Seavey how it occurred, he
replied that his ship "took bottom" The
sea was very high at the time, and the bot
tom of the Newcastle City was crushed in
when she struck the hard sand. The officers
and crew had much difficulty in escaping
from the wreck Capt Thornton made no
request to be taken on board the schooner
and returned to the lightship. The steamers
cargo, consisting of iron, cement and fire.
bricks was valued at $40, 900 and is fully
insured. The vessel was worth 500, 900 and
is only partly insured. The wrecked
steamer Newcastle City was a screw vessel
of 2, 100 gross and 1884 net tons She was
2S5 feet long Sc feet broad and "a feet deep
and was built at West Hartlepool, Eng, in

one of the leading attractions at the Chau-
tauqua this winter, and the management

f. A. Springstadt, of this place, is agitat-
ing the question of having canning factory
built at this place, parties in Michigan will
put up the factory If we can secure this
it will be boon 80 our portion of the State,
as the thousands of bushels of vegetables
that are annually raised in this section will
find home MAJ ket at fair price that will
pay the growers much better than shipping
North, and run the risk of getting nothing.
In few years there viii be a vast amount
of fruit here, such as peaches, plums, pears,
etc, that will pay canning factory hand
somely as people would much prefer to sell
their fruit and vegetables TO home market.
